Lin Luoran thought the two old men were intentionally singing a duet, but unexpectedly Old Mu threw out an opening line, and the old man with the surname Guo didn't respond as expected. Instead, he said calmly: "Old Mu, how many years do we add up to? Talking about these things in front of younger people will only invite ridicule, let's not mention it!"

  Mr. Mu was embarrassed, but Lin Luo Ran couldn't help but feel a little solemn respect, if it were her own injuries that were so severe, waiting for the life-saving medicine, she wouldn't be able to remain calm either.

  But she herself is still standing on shaky ground, and even the old master who built the foundation period can't solve the injury, let alone her - relying on her spiritual energy that has not yet entered the practice gas period of the Great Perfection Realm? Don't be ridiculous, if it weren't for the mysterious power of the pearl at the end, she wouldn't have been able to save Baojia.

  Lin Luoran put down the tea, "Two seniors, the Jade Girl has brought... However, Guo Lao's injuries..."

  Guo Lao waved his hand: "You're willing to take out such a precious thing, for me it's already a great favor. How could I put the burden of my injuries on your shoulders? ... Old Mu and the others have their minds set on the seniors behind you, although their motives are not pure, but also for my sake, Lin Niang, don't bother to calculate with them."

  The awkwardness on Mu Tian Nan's face was identical to that of Old Man Mu, it seemed they were indeed grandfather and grandson. Lin Luo Ran wasn't surprised by their scheming ways.

  She wasn't a spoiled rich girl who grew up in a honey jar, and she never believed that there was such thing as unprovoked love or hate. So why did Mu Tian Nan suddenly change his attitude to be so "malicious"?

  If she really has some mysterious master, she can completely ignore the special department's recruitment and ignore the Mo family's request for her help. As the saying goes, "one force can defeat ten wills". In the face of absolute power, these forces are nothing but clay chickens and tile dogs, and she is only willing to deal with them when she is in a good mood.

  But only Lin Luoran herself knew that she didn't have a master with profound cultivation to make these people deeply wary, so before her strength grew to a certain height, she had to occasionally reveal a little bit of the existence of good things in the current cultivation world, not too close, nor avoiding suspicion, and must confirm that she really had this so-called "master".

  So at this moment, Lin Luoran heard Guo Lao say this, neither exaggerating his injuries nor talking about death, but instead actively changing the subject: "I think Xiangshan's scenery is beautiful and lush, with a rich spiritual energy, it's a great place to cultivate in the midst of worldly dust, the Shu family really chose a good location."

  Lin Luoran changed the subject, and Old Man Mu followed up: "This is Lin Luoran's first time here, why don't we just take him on a stroll around this mountain with these two uninteresting old men?"

  It's better to enjoy the scenery than just sit there, Lin Luo Ran agreed with a smile.

  "What about me?"

  Mr. Mu's eyes widened, and the previous hint of elegance was gone. Mu Tian Nan didn't dare to be presumptuous again, and he obediently held up his tea cup and retreated.

  Guo Lao stood up first: "We are much older than you, and if we don't mind being presumptuous, would it be alright to call you Lin Yatou?"

  Lin Luoran quickly stood up and nodded: "What did Old Man Guo say? It's just a matter of title, what's wrong with that?" Even if these two people weren't more powerful than her, they were the only high-level existences known to China, and even their age was at least two cycles older than hers. The issue of titles really was a small matter.

  The three of them left the thatched cottage and continued to walk up along the winding path they had taken before. The yellow birch forest was so dense it blocked out the sky, and the entire Fragrant Hill area seemed to be dominated by these trees, which would turn a fiery red in autumn.

  It's winter now, and the beautiful scenery of Xiangshan red leaves is naturally invisible. However, the thick fallen leaves piled up on the ground give a special feeling when stepped on, not bad at all.

  Mr. Mu saw that she was very interested in these ancient trees, and stroking his beard, he explained: "Some were planted during the Qianlong period, and some are over 200 years old."

  More than two hundred years? The trees have grown for more than two hundred years to become so prosperous, and as for oneself, after two hundred years, will one successfully advance to explore the higher and deeper realms of cultivation, or be trapped by the curse that most cultivators in China can only reach the foundation-building period?

  Guo Lao looked at her and saw that her expression had suddenly become more melancholy. After a moment of thought, he spoke up: "Lin Xiaojie, I observe your expression, and it seems to be filled with sorrow. At such a young age, you have already achieved such a high level of cultivation, which is truly not easy. According to reason, this should be the prime of your youth, so why do you appear to be unhappy?"

  At 27 years old, was it originally just a small age in the Xiuzhen world?

  "Both of you seniors know that I'm just an ordinary person from the secular world, who happened to have the opportunity to enter the cultivation realm. However, I don't understand many taboos and common knowledge. According to what Wen Guanjing said, even after a hundred years of bitter cultivation, one may still end up as nothing but a withered skeleton in the mountains and wilderness. If one is lucky enough to build a foundation, how much longer can they extend their lifespan?"

  The accidental opportunity in her mouth refers to space, and when it falls into the ears of the two old men, it is a side confirmation of their speculation - so-called opportunity, not being favored by a superior, included in the door wall, and even using one's own cultivation to wash her marrow, making Lin Luo Ran reach the realm of Dacheng before the big circle of Qi Refining.

  This is naturally a manifestation of how much they value Lin Luoran, but the seniors who have gone through many things are unpredictable in their actions. The two elders do not think that there is anything wrong with Lin Luoran being unaware of the common sense of the cultivation world.

  Mr. Mu didn't answer her question at first, but instead smiled and asked back: "According to Lin girl's opinion, how old am I?"

  Lin Luoran looked him up and down, and Old Man Mu seemed to be in good health, with a spirit that was no different from Commander Qin's. He looked like he was only in his sixties or so, wasn't he?

  She spoke her mind, and not only did Mr. Mu burst out laughing, but even someone as strict as Old Guo couldn't help but smile.

  "During the Qi-gathering period, one can live up to 100 years and die without illness. In the foundation-building period, one can generally live for about 200 years. In the Dan-forming period, there is a lifespan of 500 years. As for the Yuan Ying, according to traditional records, it can live up to 1,000 years. However, anything above the Yuan Ying is beyond our comprehension."

  Mo laughed loudly and pointed at Old Guo, saying: "He is more cautious than me. This year he is 127 years old. The old man is a bit older, last month just had his 130th birthday."

  Are they over a hundred years old? It's really not visible at all, let alone Guo Lao being injured. Just looking at Mu Lao, he is over 130 years old, and his energy and blood seem to be more vibrant than that of Mu Tian Nan, this young master... This is the difference between an immortal cultivator and an ordinary person, I suppose...

  At 27 years old, it was indeed a very youthful age in the Cultivation Realm.

  Being called an old leftover woman for a long time, I suddenly realized that I am still very young, this feeling is not bad at all!
